In the vast conflijration it Is morally certain that not 2.000 only, but at leat five time, perhnpa ten or twenty times 2,000 helpless creatures mupt have perished. No brilliant pen has painted for, us the hiio ons incidents of their lawt agon ie, and the horrors of an infernal fire. lefre: which that ol Cbifi bums-but pale and feebly; That death was dealt out by English sailors purposely, i unsparingly and boastfully not in self-preser-! ration, but in order to strike terror into a harmless-people whom we are bent upon for-iu g into trade. . General "Washington's Prayer. In the summer of 1779, Washington, explo-rlng alone one day the position of the British forces, en the banks of the Hudson, ventured too far from bis own camp, and was compelled "by a sudden stonn and the fatigue of his horse, to seek shelter for the night in the cottage of pious American peaaant. who, ereatly struck with'the language and manner ..of his guest, '-nnd listening at the door of his chamber, overheard the following prayer , from the father of liU eountry : " 'And now, Almizhty Father, if it is thy holy will that we shall obtain a place and a name among the nations of the earth, grant that we mav lie enabled to show our gratitude , for thy goodness hy: our endeavors to fear and obey thee. Bless us with wisdom inonrconn-'eils, success in battle, and let all our victories b tempered, with humanitv. Endow, also, our enemies with enlightened mind, that they may become sensible of their injustice, and .Willing to restore our liberty and peace. Grant the petition of thy servant for the sake of II im whom thou hast called thy beloved Son. Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be Uone." - Colonel Woolford. -. The Louisville Journal, in an article upon Colonel Wooiroril's speech, says very justly : Certait expressions of.th speeh were evi-p dentlv used without particular attention to the C Articles of War, an unmindfulness lor which the gallant speaker, as we understand, has been already placed under arree . . As, however, Jlr. Lincoln has freely permitted tht . AfflMH or hu An mlltiUM pninnlTmn Irn mingle in the strife of .politics, and to take part in tlie work of defaming as traitors all who disapprove the party pleasures of his A I Voinistration, he can scirce.ly be so lacking in magnanimity as to la a heavy hand.upon the only officer iu the army, who so far, as we are aware, has ventured to pay him' back in his own oin. partieulary when it ja remembered that thi officer ia the . pride Vf the rvice; - that he spoke a a citizen of . Mr. Lincoln - as Chief Magistrate, and that he spoke thus under circumstancea of aggravation to which a true man r hoWeref eccoiii pasaed by the regulations of discipline, could not be all insensible. Surely in a case like this something may be panloned to the spfrit of liberty io an Itriia oompoieil of American freemen. v Tnty-llTe Hilea of l)ead Holes. I I ' t- . L. j. . A .

The Chicago Tribune, (Republican) of a recent date drew the following picture of the moral condition of that city : - "Not a train arrives fn Chicago that is not freiirhted with the prostitutes of other cities a nd their attendant cavaliers, roughs, pimps and villians of every derree. The painted harlot walks our streets uiibluhingly, and elbows her way into": the railway Cars, sitting upon the same Mat and talking familiarly with ihoe whom if they knew her character wonld regard speech and touch as moral and physical contamination: citizens visit their houses because they know they run no risk of itetection ; young men and boys are sowing the seeds of moral and physical disease, which win one nay npen in a ncn narvest ol crime and death ; innocent girls are seduced ; the anctity of the family circle invaded; houses ol ill repute are springing np all over the city, and the men whose sworn duty it is to en'p-pres vice and immorality, have taken wicked men and women into their confidence, and in the abundance of their evil designs hae ae- I.. I ! .1 - wixucn iu crime me same protection tney extended to virtue." We presume the same can be said with truth of all our larg cities. This moral leorosv is fastening itself upon all of them. While the negro is hems "elevated " the nation ia going down toa loathsome death. "The sane- tity of the family circle ia invadfrt," innocent girls are seluced," and "young men and bovs are sowing the -eed8 of moral and physical iieease which will one day ripen in a rich har vest of crime and death." Sueh ia the aad La - '- l ' t ' - . . . . picture ot morai aesoiauon mat is sweeping over the land. It is the moral and physical pestilence that follows closely on the heela of war.

The export of only a million a week above the receipts from Oaluoiiia must at last use up the supply. No: the only way is to diminish the issues and make pa ter money scarcer, if the wiseacres would keep down the price of gold. or. more correct! v, keep the cur rency from depreciating. -But the trouble is with the Administration, that it does not at tempt to correct false step by retracing them. but onlv on making more, and the end will be ruin to all Boston Oncrier. Death of the Oldest Pioneer in the West On Friday last, about nine o'clock in the morning Thomas Mills, the oldest pioneer in the West, departed this life at the residence of his son-in law Mr. C.

The Chicago Tribune, (Republican) of a recent date drew the following picture of the moral condition of that city : - "Not a train arrives fn Chicago that is not freiirhted with the prostitutes of other cities a nd their attendant cavaliers, roughs, pimps and villians of every derree. The painted harlot walks our streets uiibluhingly, and elbows her way into": the railway Cars, sitting upon the same Mat and talking familiarly with ihoe whom if they knew her character wonld regard speech and touch as moral and physical contamination: citizens visit their houses because they know they run no risk of itetection ; young men and boys are sowing the seeds of moral and physical disease, which win one nay npen in a ncn narvest ol crime and death ; innocent girls are seduced ; the anctity of the family circle invaded; houses ol ill repute are springing np all over the city, and the men whose sworn duty it is to en'p-pres vice and immorality, have taken wicked men and women into their confidence, and in the abundance of their evil designs hae ae- I.. I ! .1 - wixucn iu crime me same protection tney extended to virtue." We presume the same can be said with truth of all our larg cities. This moral leorosv is fastening itself upon all of them. While the negro is hems "elevated " the nation ia going down toa loathsome death. "The sane- tity of the family circle ia invadfrt," innocent girls are seluced," and "young men and bovs are sowing the -eed8 of moral and physical iieease which will one day ripen in a rich har vest of crime and death." Sueh ia the aad La - '- l ' t ' - . . . . picture ot morai aesoiauon mat is sweeping over the land. It is the moral and physical pestilence that follows closely on the heela of war.

It waa a brutal insult. ainl waa felt as such by the iud'gna nt soldiers. They very properly refused to march' after the negro -.band, awl the officers were compellcl to drive the men into the ranks at the, point of the sword. But after arriving on the avenue the men rebelled and refused to march anoth-br step after the'land. The consequence was, the procession broke up ia confusion.- The men mails their way io aquada to theduTerent hotels where they were assigned toT breakfast. The band, minae the followers, excepta crowd of negro nreb in, of various size, brouglit up in front of l be Railroad Hotel. A.&umber of the: men were quartered here, "and -the more ther reflected upon the insnlt that bad been offered them, the greater became their- indignation. They may have been nothing but common eoldiera. used to the hardships of the field ami the wild terrors of the battle, hat they still bad some li g ring belief that they were aa good as negroes. It would have takes hat & spark to irnite the fires of imlignation that were entouldering in the breasts of the soldiers, and they would have J cleaned" out the hand, who Were.haagina around the portico of the hotel, evideutly thinking their aer vices were to be still further requrred. But the committee who employed them -had wrohr ably retired to their cloaete to reflect upon their generous treatment or the returned soldiers at least none of them wvre to be seen upon the owa a. a - .a " r ". streeis, . ine nana, seeing tiiat .manevn were fxst aseumina a threatening aspect in their h dlifyrthooght it advisable to make 'the- heat of theij way back to camp.
